Pokemon and dragon ball z deserve to be in the top 10. Family guy has no place there and isn't even funny anymore, a show that gets cancelled twice isn't that great. Batman animated series higher than looney tunes? And south park that high is an insult to animation, not funny anymore and just swear words coupled with (dry) political humour.

I only looked at the top 50, and one of the first things I noticed is that there was no Dragon Ball or Dragon Ball Z. Both of these shows deserve to be in the top 20. There needs to be a top 100 list made by the IGN community.

This list is full of shit. The list itself avoids any real goo d anime and puts on top substandard western animation. I mean the simpsons as number one yeah right. The simpsons is the most repetitive and boring animated series out there. Unlike Japanese animations which have a storyline and a beginning and an end western ones for the most part just flail around with substandard humor and poorly drawn characters. In all this list is a waste of time and you shouldn't even bother looking threw it.

Okay, so I do not tend to get upset about many of these lists, because I understand they are subjective and in all honesty, how do you pick the best 100 of all time? But there is a lot fo junk in here and here are a few that I am absolutely shocked didn't make the cut.

After reading the first 5 or so, I thought this list must be limited to Western animated series only. But then Neon Genesis came up and Cowboy Bebop. So it includes everything. Well then, how the hell could Neon Genesis be the only anime in the top 10? Ridiculous.

For real? Japanese animations have storylines alright... TERRIBLE ones. Usually consists of a goofy-ass protagonist who wants to be awesome but actually sucks ass until he/she genuinely needs to save the day, an annoying squealy-type (genki girls, they're apparently called), some horrendous and completely unbelievable romance plot, and some evil schmuck who wants to ruin everyone's party. Oh and don't forget the lone 'badass'.

Out of however many thousands of anime that are out there, there's probably fifty series tops (I can only think of ten) that'd be worth watching, where the plot hasn't been done to death. JRPGs generally follow a pretty similar trend, and how look how far they've evolved over the years.

I think this list has a lot great animated shows, but I think they are very off on the ranking of them. I agree with the comment that said that Tom and Jerry should be in the top 3 because it should. And Dexter's Lab should have been higher too. And for those of you who are mad that more anime is not on the list, you must not have watched very many cartoons, because, sure some of them are really good and have good story lines, but they lack some of the creativity and originality and wit of the American cartoons. I am also a fan of anime, but I mean, come on, stuff like Bleach and Code Geass are not up to par to most of the cartoons on this list. And, really, why the heck are the Simpsons and Family guy so high on this list, if even on this list at all??
I like that Fullmetal Alchemist was on the list. And also, The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh should have definitely been on this list.

Are you fucking kidding me? You people put Fosters on that list? in 85?! You couldn't put the Swat Kats somewhere in that list? and seriously, No Garfield and Friends?! you people would rather put Count Duckula than Garfield and Friends? And how about Doug? you people wouldn't put that show on this list?! And why would you put Full Metal Alchemist so low on this list? that anime was great like Pokemon, DBZ, Neon Genesis Evangion, and Cowboy Bepop and you people know it! And why aren't Sailor Moon, Daria, Clone High, and Rocko on this list? you people would rather put shows like Fosters, Smurfs, Count Duckula, Galaxy High, and Rugrats on this list?! Shows like those 5 deserve to be Reader's Choice if you ask me. And why do you consider the Smurfs to be superior than Clerks? And why do you consider Fosters to be Superior than the other shows that go after 85?! C'mon IGN... PLEASE expand your lists.

This list is overall good, but Tom & Jerry should switch spots with the Tick. The Tick might have been a great show, but it only lasted for two seasons and never really had more that strong of a fan base. Tom & Jerry has had a very strong following and everyone considers it a classic. There are other things I disagree with, but that's mostly just my personal opinion and isn't as valid.

Swatkats was the best show i have ever seen in my life..and i feel it is the most underrated show ever.i cant beleive they havent put them in that stupid list.it deseres to be no:1 follwed by batman animated series at no:2...just remmeber how awesome the animation was..and how nice the whole story plot was...with great villains...awesome action scenes..and their fantastic jet..turbokat...and all the other cool gadgets..it really deserves to be no:1..

QUESTION! Why is Family Guy higher than DBZ? Why is DBZ #78? I would rather watch Goku battle Frieza, Cell and Buu forever than watch Family Guy make stupid jokes that aren't even funny. DBZ should be at LEAST in the top 10. It should be top 5. I mean, if a show runs for 300 episodes, you think it would be a pretty awesome show, right? Wow, IGN, this is just lame.
And the Last Airbender thing..a knock-off! Really? This is just sad.

Lololol Neon Genesis Evangelion 'best anime'? Yeah fuckin right. Cowboy Bebop is by far the best anime series ever produced. The fact that it's at #15 is ridiculous, but w/e. Since when do IGN ever make good top 10/100s.

Enzosama have you even watch Neon Genesis Evangelion? It is very much worthy of the top anime. Eva and Bebop are the top animes of all time. But most would agreen that Evangaelion is the greatest anime all time.

This is just ridiculous IGN, just give out a list when all 100 are announced, I never read all of these because it takes far too long to load 100 separate pages with my slow ass internet, please, it would be so easy.

Actually I take back what I said about Count Duckula. Garfield & Friends deserves to be #16 instead of The Maxx. And Full Metal Alchemist deserves to be #85 instead of Fosters, It should've been #96. The SWAT Kats deserve to be #32 instead of Liquid Television. And Doug deserves to be somewhere on this list. Along with Courage the Cowardly Dog, Sonic SATAM, Megas XLR, Men In Black the Series, and Static Shock.

South Park and the Simpsons deserve to be in the top 10. I don't think the Simpsons deserved to be #1 (Looney Toons should've been #1 just because... dude, it's the Looney Toons), but it's still a VERY good show. Definitely one of my favorites. South Park and the Simpsons have done a lot for animation and I especially love South Park because it's so ballsy and funny. South Park is one of the few shows that actually got away with saying every dirty word in the English language and still have people, including myself, love them. Respect.

Cowboy bebop made it! I didn't see ghost in the shell, Samurai champloo, Samurai 7, Rurouni kenshin, or berserk. Many others didn't make it but the list has lots of good old cartoons. Tail spin great, Pinky and brain got to be a fav, TMNT LOL. Good list. We want more textures in future cartoons/anime.

Oh IGN, you clearly want people to think you're clever because you put Evangelion so high, but you failed because Naruto is also on this list, nice one.

Look, if you're going to do a list of the top 100 animated series of all time for god's sake for gods sake watch more cartoons that arent american, sure you've got a few anime there but what are the greatest anime of all time according to IGN? Dragon Ball Z, Pokemon, Naruto, Speed Racer and then some decent shows. If you want to rate the quality of all animated shows, then you owe it to your fans to watch more than just what you've been exposed to. If you had honest to god done that you wouldnt be placing the Flinstones above Cowboy Bebop or Thundercats above FMA, also why the hell wasn't The Looney Tunes number one? God you make me mad IGN

If you didn't want to do a sloppy job making this list, you should NOT have included anime at all. They are in a category of their own and need their own list! Dragon ball Z-78! Pokemon-78! Full Metal-95! Death Note-51! Sailor moon, one of the most popular shows wasn't even there! These were beaten by bullshit such as Animaniacs and a bunch of 100 times over recycled superhero shows which should have ended 20 years ago with the 5th "original" series i.e when they were still good! I feel discusted that you even DARED to put anime in here! Popular shows such as; Ben 10 and Arthur arn't even in the list! TERRIBLE!!!

And another thing, Code Geass isn't even on here! Better than Naruto by MILES. Neither is Adventure Time or Power Rangers. This list sucks. However Invader Zim is on here... should have been higher but I'm pleased with that.

This list is a joke... You can't judge of equal way action with comedy and so many different genres.

Merge Japanese animation series and American cartoons, it's not a good idea at all. Both are animations, but the first are, mostly, comedy and social criticism while the other has broader genres ranging from comedy to action or drama.

But seriously! NARUTO on the list and the Simpsons at the top? I'm just speechless (...)
